Those engaged in European competition fishing will quickly come across the name "Hanák," especially in the realms of Euronymphing, Czech Nymphing, and the like. This Czech niche boutique is a long-established name, and for a good reason, as Hanák team members regularly find themselves on the podiums of various fly fishing competitions.
The Alpen Nymph 4-in-1 was designed as an all-around weapon for challenging fishing in European mountain rivers. Fishing in such waters can be both demanding and technically challenging, with varying equipment requirements. Therefore, Hanák has developed a rod that can transform in an instant: a 4-in-1 rod with the ability to combine the 6 rod sections to create four different rod lengths ranging from 2.90 m to 3.35 m. The action of the rod also changes, covering different fishing scenarios with the various setup lengths. The shorter lengths are a bit stiffer, while the blank becomes slightly softer at full lengths. This unique configuration not only provides maximum flexibility on the water but also allows for easy transport with a compact length of only 77 cm.
The sensitive blank made of high-modulus carbon is equipped with a relatively fast recovery rate, suitable for dry fly fishing with light lines and long leaders, Euronymphing, Czech Nymphing, and fishing with light streamers or indicator rigs targeting trout, grayling, barbel, and more. As the rod is built longer, the action becomes softer. Perfect for all modern nymphing techniques, supported by the construction of the extra-light, sensitive blank. Depending on your focus, you can choose the perfect all-around rod for your specific purpose from the various line classes.
